Well that’s the problem. Morey is going to demand the moon. Teams will offer some deals, but not for what he will ask for. And then he really only wants to go to Cali.

Seriously though, what did the 6ers do? They waited four years for him to develop a 3 pointer, and he is still 5 for 34 in his career. I would have thought the one who should be hopping mad would be the 6ers and not the other way around.

NBA Players Phaggot Union. If Simmons continues to refuse can they ban him from the bench?
Or do rules say he has to sit there and 76ers have to pay him?

If Doc attempts to insert him into the game and he refuses could that negate his contract?

He'd be better for the Lakers than Westbrick, tbh. As a non-Lakers fan I'd be pretty fearful of that lineup. Simmons really wouldn't have to do much more than be an elite defender and get the ball in AD and Lebron's hands.

Westbrick just seems like he'll be in the way on offense and not much he can add defensively. I actually hope the Lakers don't warm up to such an idea.

Reported Simmons can continue to sit on his vag and will get 16 million of his 31 million salary delivered on Oct 1st.
Ben Simmons made it clear to 76ers that it's not his job to improve his trade value for Philly, per report - CBSSports.com (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/ben-simmons-made-it-clear-to-76ers-that-its-not-his-job-to-improve-his-trade-value-for-philly-per-report/)

Sad fact: Today's "elite defender" point guard is yesteryear's Tony Parker. We haven't had a Gary Payton or Chauncey Billups or Andre Miller or even a Jacque Vaughn type, in a generation.

I miss the good ole days of the 90s and 00s where points were at a premium, especially in the playoffs.

No ads on jerseys... offensive rebound earned a fresh 24 seconds.

Contact in the paint wasn't always a foul, hand checking wasn't always a foul; so teams could play tighter and not allow so many threes. Power forwards and centers shooting threes was a novelty, not the norm.

Teams wore their home whites and away colors, and gimmicky alternate jerseys and deviations from the norm were novelties that happened at a few points of the regular season, most definitely not on a consistent basis and NEVER in the playoffs.

Basketball was just much better then. Today's product is just awful. I'm simply glad that I haven't wasted any more of my life on this awful league since May 14, 2017.

Tom was working with Spurs players unofficially in the lockout and became the team's color commentator that season just waiting for Pop to get fired. Pop was hugely unpopular with the fanbase at the time because he took all the blame for firing the very popular Bob Hill so the media wouldn't kill David Robinson and Avery Johnson for being coach killers. Spurs began that season 6-8 and had an embarrassing loss to Utah on NBC that almost sealed Pop's fate. David gave this big speech to the team about how if they lost the game that night (in Houston, back when they were supposed to be a title contender after getting Pippen) Pop would probably get fired. And the Spurs went in and destroyed Houston and were pretty much unbeatable the rest of the year. Here is the game:

Pippen, Hakeem and Barkley. That was quite a big 3 for the Rockets. I forgot about that team, although I do remember Pippen and Barkley's feud that raged afterwards.

I wasn't living in SA when Hill was replaced by Pop, so all I heard was the media take on Pop firing Hill. I didn't know about the player coup at all until much later.

From 76ers point of view this is what needs to happen imo.
Not just for the 6ers but for all future Kawhi / Simmons etc type holdouts:

Beyond the league's collective bargaining agreement, which provides the ability for the Sixers to withhold salary for a player's failure to provide services, the Sixers have their own set of rules that include fines for missing media day and each missed practice. The final resort for the Sixers could be to suspend Simmons for "failing to render services" once preseason games begin -- which could cost Simmons $227,613 for each missed game.

So are they going to hold on to him until midseason so they can actually enforce those fines? Because he's getting $16.3 million on October 1st and preseason doesn't start until October 3rd or 4th for them.

Issue: he gets half his salary up front. Then the other half throughout the season. Klutch negotiated contracts be like that. You think he cares about being fined? He'll force their hands.

Put a fork in the 6ers in the meantime. :downspin:
Unless....."failure to render services" can be enacted. Watching.

Agree once he gets his hands on the 16 million he may not care about getting the remaining half of his salary.
The fines would add up to 9.3 million.

Sixers best move is to go for "failure to render services" imo.

Right.
But to pay him the money AND trade him for some suck ass trade ala Kawhi for Derozan, 76ers can and should absolutely avoid that.

Even if it means sitting his ass. Also could cut off his income after he scams the 16 million. Sure it won't hurt him for a half a year. But he'll be whining and moaning big time when it's cut off after the half year point. Sixers should carry it into next year. "Nope, you'll play for us or you won't play at all."

the thing that baffles me most about all this is how does doc still have a job?

the one thing hes supposedly good at is being a "players coach", yet hes the one who started all this crap by publicly turning his back on simmons, and now is reversing course and publicly stating he wants to make it work, which is in turn further alienating simmons and putting him in an even worse PR situation

and then how hard is it to see that trae young is one of the worst defenders in the league yet basically never bothered to attack him, just allowed him to get free rest on defense nearly every possession

dude sucks at every aspect of coaching. imo pretty clearly the most overrated nba coach of all time

re Flat Earth Kywie for Simmons:

But alas, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick (https://theathletic.com/2885135/2021/10/12/amick-kyrie-irving-proves-again-hes-comfortable-being-uncomfortable/?source=twitterhq), the 76ers have no interest in such a trade at this time. Amick reports that there is skepticism within Philadelphia's organization about Irving's fit with Joel Embiid (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/2135528/joel-embiid), and that the 76ers are still holding out hope that they could land Bradley Beal (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1992783/bradley-beal) or Damian Lillard (https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/1992810/damian-lillard). Irving, on paper, would be a seemingly easy fit with Embiid. He is exactly the sort of isolation scorer they've lacked in recent years, but trading for him comes with a number of complications.
While Irving is owed a max salary this season, he has a player option that would allow him to become a free agent next offseason. Trading a player like Simmons for only a one-year commitment from Irving would be an enormous risk. There is also the fear that Irving might simply retire rather than reporting to a new team.
